Whether it’s damage from a refit or building work and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help, on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Trefor as everywhere else we work.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
What affects the price in Trefor
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

When to call us in Trefor
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Damage around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Landlords, agents and businesses in Trefor
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Trefor
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
